Mustang Man is one of Louis L’Amour Nolan Sackett novels and on the first page we get some insight into this man. “His eyes were shifting quickly like a weasel’s eyes, hunting for something to kill. My pistol was in my right hand and I was looking back over my left shoulder. There was no way I could move without giving him the first shot, so I just lay there hoping he wouldn’t see me.”
Nolan was having dinner in a Cantina at Borregos Plaza when he met Penelope Hume and her beauty immediately captured his attention. He is asked to escort Penelope and her small group across country and help he get to where her grandfather has hidden three hundred pounds of gold, something that also captures his attention.
Penelope doesn’t tell Nolan that others know about the gold and Sylvie, Ralph, and Andrew Karnes, are waiting for them along the trail planning to claim the gold for themselves. They and the others they attract to help them use ambush and murder and prove to be very dangerous.
The plot of this story is strong and we step into another time and place with L’Amour’s insight and writing skill.
